Alice and Joseph are my 4th great grandparents. The marriage of Joseph's brother John Handy and Mary Pott on the same day (8 Nov 1802) was witnessed by Elizabeth Simpkins (marriage register signed by Elizabeth). Joseph and Alice are buried in a prominent position in the churchyard of St Nicholas's Church, Mavesyn Ridware. Does anyone have any details for the Simkins or Simpkins family of Staffordshire? Any information would be gratefully received. Regards Mark Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
